Expert Review
If your Buffalo mixer is completely unresponsive even though the power is on, don't panic. More often than not, it's this little proximity switch that's failed. It's a safety sensor that checks the bowl guard is in place. It's a straightforward part for a qualified engineer to swap out, getting you back to mixing in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Disconnect mains power before attempting any repair.
- Ensure the new switch is correctly aligned for detection.
- Always test the safety guard cut-out after installation.
- Keep the switch and sensor area clean from debris.
Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this an official Buffalo spare part?

Did You Know?
- A proximity switch is a non-contact sensor that detects the presence of an object, in this case, the mixer's bowl guard.
- Failure of this part is a primary safety measure to prevent the mixer from operating with the guard open.
- Replacing just this switch can be a far more economical repair than replacing the entire mixer unit.
